What a coinky-dink. First Lady Michelle Obama's five day stay at the Villa Padierna in Marbella, Spain, is taking place at the same time as a Hollywood A-list, European elite charity dinner is being held there.

Meanwhile at the five-star luxury Villa Padierna, where the group have chosen to spend their mini-break, preparations were under way for Marbella's event of the year  a star-studded charity gala hosted by Hollywood A-listers Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria.

Expectation was high that the First Lady would be the special guest at the event on Saturday night after she received a personal invitation from Ms Longoria, star of Desperate Housewives, who lent her support to Barack Obama during his presidential campaign.

More than 400 tickets have been sold for the Starlite Gala at 1000 euros each, according to organisers, and reports suggested that this week another 200 people had applied for tickets and were on a waiting list after learning that Mrs Obama might be present.

What an amazing coincidence that Michelle "Let's Party" Obama booked her jet-set style vacation when the jet-set was in town.

Agreed. This is the real reason Michelle just HAD to be in Spain on this particular date. The ruse of meeting the King and Queen is just their way of saying it’s an official visit and getting the American people to pay for her vacation.

I think I remember seeing some guffaw-inducing story here on FR a week or so ago about the democrats bringing the “popular” Michelle Obama out on the campaign trail to help stem the bloodshed in November.

Hmmm...yes, I think they should do just that. She can regale crowds of little people with tales of swanky hotels and star-studded parties in Marbella, wild clothes she purchased from British designers...all paid for by the American taxpayer (one way or another). Ought to be a real hit with voters.

(Fiscal order and a strong border...how about Christie/Cuccinelli 2012)

This ‘Royal’ family should make honest Americans want to puke their guts out!

They have much in common with the Arkancide trailer trash Clinton clan. The only difference being that the Obozos had a handle on the big bucks as phony charity and neighborhood rabble rousers.

The parental similarities common with Clinton and Obozo should make them fast friends as both are bast-rds.

When America is represented by perverted scum bags like these two goon squads we should be and generally are totally embarrassed. We have had a very small dose of the best and these two are definitely the dregs!

((Ps 109.8): "Let his days be few; and let another take his position.")

[Michelle]she tells the women. Dont go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and were encouraging our young people to do that. But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond.

Just don't expect to run into Michelle while you are working in the "helping" industry. She's taking another well earned vacation in a 5 star resort.

You know, I never thought of that. I don’t think this clan is any too bright, and one thing for certain is that the Clintons know how to play the game. These non-stop vacations, golf outings and over the top extravagence on the taxpayer’s dime might make for some interesting election ad material.

What fries me is how Sarah Palin was crucified over trivial nickel and dime expeditures as governor, while this clown posse blows tens of millions of the taxpayer’s money on in your face extravagence. Hopefully there’s some good video out there of some of these vacations to serve as background material a couple years hence.

*** Yes GW took more vacations, however,he had a home in Texas... Those dorks have a home in Chicago. ***

Pres. Bush had a ranch in Texas which he had built to specifications which save energy, and he paid for it himself. It had all the equipment available to the Oval Office, and it was called the Second White House. Instead of taking a copter or a jet to play golf as Zero does, he sometimes used his own property to go fishing. He had a low carbon footprint while in his own ranch in Texas.

Now we have our very own Imelda Marcos, a low-rent pop star, media whore, just what is needed for our transition to a Third World, Marxist cesspool. We’ll never get the stench scrubbed out of the White House.

Do you have proof that Bush took more vacation time? I think we are being scammed here big time. No way Bush worked less than this guy. 0 doesn’t even show up until 11:00 just in time for a lunch party with some celebrity. The “Bush took more vacation” line has been thrown out by the media and I want to see proof!

Bunmi Olayes warrior-like woman collection (pictured above). Inspired by the mysterious, men-only Leopard Masquerade cult of the Efik tribe in the Nigerian province of Calabar, mixed with references to the high-collars, tight waists and voluminous sleeves of the Victorian era The look plays with proportions, gorgeous colours, vibrant prints with strong shoulders and enhanced waists.

And it seems this designer is already mixing in the right circles. Last year she established her own label which now has a celebrity client list which includes Mel B (Spice Girl), Mischa Barton, Alesha Dixon and Estell.

A Nigerean native, Bunmi already seems to be making at least small waves. Her experience w/ Alexander McQueen is evident in her designs. Slated to show at Africa Fashion Week later this month, Bunmi was asked to explain her collection: "The collection explores the feeling of a warrior-like woman in power. " Even if she doesn't find herself a star in the international industry, there's no doubt that Bunmi'll find herself a rightful place in African fashion.
